Venisse Siy Shines Vocally as Adea Dailo Keeps the Momentum High on Stage

Then, she followed it up with So Chan-whee’s “Tears,” a well-known karaoke favorite in Korea for its high notes. Still, Venisse handled the challenge effortlessly. She closed her set with her original song, “Ililipad Ko.” Through this performance, she shared a message of dreams and hope, saying, “if we have a dream in our hope, maabot natin yung hangga’t di tayo sumusuko.”
Adea Dailo then takes the stage and keeps the energy high. He performs his recent singles “Sweet Affection” and “You and I,” grooving smoothly to the beats. Then, he switches things up as he sings “Things You Do” by Justin Bieber, getting the crowd to sing along.
Afterward, he creates a more personal moment by performing his unreleased track, “Flash Hearts.” He shares that the song means a lot to him, then delivers it with a fun and upbeat energy that lights up the stage.
Duo GY and Jung Hye Rin Dominate the Stage
Everyone waits and screams for GY as Gab and Yen take the stage. They raise the energy even higher with their electrifying rap verses and performances of “pocket watcher” and “pamasahe.” They constantly interact with the crowd throughout the performance, even inviting fans onstage to join them.
As the show reached its halfway point, Miss Trot 4’s Jung Hye Rin took the stage. She opened her set with “Remember Me” by Gummy. Then, she followed it with the heartfelt “A Letter from Mother” and “Kumpas” by Moira Dela Torre. Throughout the performance, fans sang along and cheered her on. Then, she closed her set with her original trot single “Melty Love,” turning the energy up.
Rising P-Pop Groups AJAA and YGIG Close Out SBTown Music Festival 2 in Style
Well-known P-pop groups from SBTown, AJAA and YGIG, closed the music festival with electrifying performances. AJAA notably brought pure cuteness overload to the crowd as they performed high-energy tracks like “BES I LUV U,” “Ako Na,” and “Torpe.” In addition, they also announced that they are planning new projects for this year, which excited their fans even more.
Meanwhile, YGIG owned the stage with a fierce “baddies” vibe. They performed “Chicka-chick-a,” which turned the venue into a hot summer party atmosphere.
